Absolutely. Happy to see so many people staying away from the doom and gloom talks. Have some rep

Surely you mean for the 'promote to first team and give more opportunities' part?

Absolute quality goalie kit! Now my dad won't make fun of Petr's fluorescent shirts

Styles needs to stop being so apprehensive all the time. For once, let's assume that we will learn from our mistakes. I agree with you in sentiment btw, and I doubt anyone wouldn't.

All the people jumping on the Vilas Boas bandwagon - how many have actually followed Porto since he's joined?

Nah I mentioned the players we need to replace the ones to sell. The youngsters are there to fill a squad role.

Soccerlens What a dickhead of a writer. I'm revolted I once wrote for this site.

Spot on. We're very disjointed as a team, Torres' arrival has a lot to do with that. The French clique needs to go.

Malouda Anelka Zhirkov Bosingwa Turnbull Drogba Ferreira* Hilario* * = they're out of contract anyway. Relegate Lampard to a squad role. I'd mention Drogba here as well but he's too big a personality to take well to being benched. He's better off at Marseille. Give more chances to Kakuta, Josh and Bertrand/PvA, Cork and Borini. Sturridge replaces Drogba obviousy. Get two wingers atleast, a playmaker and a quality backup keeper.

It's a sorry end to a sorry season and such a shame it had to follow the heady times of last year. Now this place will be filled with down-in-the-dumps/self-pitying/ranting chatter - justifiable according to some, not so according to others. But I'm not here to debate or discuss that. Just wanted to keep things in perspective and get my 2 cents in before the inevitable crisis talk begins. I say a big thank you to everyone connected with the club - the board, the management, the coaching staff, the players and the fans for caring so much about this one thing we all love in common. Some express that love more than others and some don't and that's okay. We react to situations in different ways and that makes us different people and that leads to arguments but as long as we all care about Chelsea I don't give a damn. I thank the likes of Paulo, Flo, Nico, Bos, Hilario, Salo, Didi - everyone who people say are about to leave, for all the enjoyment they've provided us over the years. In the heat of the moment I might have abused you and called your commitment into question and for that I apologize. I say thanks to Petr, JT, Obi and Branny for being the shining lights when everything around has crumpled so badly. I say thanks to Lamps and Ess because they're still my favourite players regardless of their current form. And the others I didn't mention - a thank you to them as well, for being a part of the Chelsea family. And last but not the least, thank you Carlo for everything you've done in the last 2 years. I don't know if you'll be around next season but I'll cherish the wonderful times of last year, and appreciate the memories of this year as well, even though not all of them were enjoyable. Chelsea till I die ... and after that. :cfc:

Why blame the players if they don't believe they can do it? Do you believe? How many people here dared to say 'yes we can' and how many were busy saying it's over and they're not going to watch the rest of the match? Fucking pathetic. It's time the fans started backing the club instead of doubting them. Or if you're gonna be negative and say that you don't believe our chances, then don't conveniently vent about the players' attitudes, because you're no better than the players!

Ah a sending off as well. Everyone is going to beat us up about this day for months to come.

This is what we do with Arsenal every year - let them play around the box and then pimp slap them with a couple of goals. Embarrassing.

My word look at Kalou's face on the touchline ... he's got the face of a seriously constipated guy lmao

Now they toy with us, make us run around, score a second or a third and we go out with a whimper. Perfect.

Right...and Anelka is the most happy-go-lucky, bright as rainbows person you could ever hope to meet.

fuck off with your 'gay' talks. why was torres taken off wtf

All the people asking Carlo to fuck off...is it his fault Lampard can't finish from 10 yards? Is it his fault Anelka at 32 years old is more interested in ball-watching than paying attention to the guy behind him? Fucking mob mentality.

Yes.

Didn't take our chances when we were on top and from then on it runs to a script. Bye bye Carlo I guess.

offside goal. some things never change.

Dickarito diving like the little fairy that he is

Ramires what a player! Makes all the the early doubters look like fools ffs get anelka off the pitch

squeaky bum time
